You`ll return from Gaza in a coffin, Hamas warns "Israel"

`Surprises` Hizbullah prepared for "Israeli" Military are nothing compared to those waiting for army in Strip, Palestinian organizations say.
Any "Israeli" operation in the Gaza Strip will be met with a harsh response on the part of the Palestinian organizations, a Hamas spokesperson said Tuesday.
While the government and the defense (War) establishment are discussing an escalation in the "Israeli" response to the Qassam rockets fired from Gaza, Hamas is threatening to launch a tough war against the "Israeli" Military, if it invades the Strip.
A Little Help
"The ‘Israelis' will suffer heavy losses if they launch a wide-scale offensive," the Hamas spokesperson added.
The other organizations also threatened "Israel" with a painful response. A spokesman for the Popular Resistance Committees made it clear that an "Israeli" operation in the Strip "will not be a field trip."
The spokesman, Abu Abir, told Ynet that "Israeli" troops will return to their families "tidy, but in coffins."
The Palestinian website al-Madar reported Tuesday afternoon that Abu Ubaida, a spokesman for Hamas` military wing, the Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades, promised to prepare "surprises" for the "Israelis" if they launch a ground operation in Gaza.
"These surprises will be much bigger than those Hizbullah prepared for ‘Israel'," he was quoted as saying. "We shall not have mercy on the tanks and on the soldiers. They will all be in the range of fire."
He promised to greet the "Israeli" planes with "new weapons."
Abu Ubaida also warned, according to the website, that an "Israeli" operation may lead to the execution of kidnapped soldier Gilad Shalit. However, Hamas later denied this report.
